It was a great place to stay great location. The condo was extremely clean. The only issue we had was parking. It’s very hard to get a big truck into that parking area. I was always worried about falling off the concrete into the sand. Otherwise it was a great location.

We had a wonderful stay at Spyglass 101A! The condo was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for our vacation. The highlight for us was definitely the balcony—it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views. We also loved being able to walk right out onto the beach, which made our stay even more convenient and enjoyable.The owners were very responsive and helpful whenever we had questions, which we greatly appreciated. The dedicated parking space was a huge plus, and we really liked the location—it was close to everything we needed while still feeling peaceful and relaxing.Overall, this condo exceeded our expectations. We felt right at home and would absolutely love to stay here again on a future trip to Gulf Shores. Highly recommend!

We couldn't have asked for a better beach front property, the house was comfortable and clean. The gulf view was unimpeded and you can hear the waves crashing. We just walked down 1 flight of the stairs from the deck, walked past the small dunes and the beach was right there. There is a life guard on duty and we were able to rent umbrellas and lounge chairs to have set up each day. The water was so clear and the beach was very clean. The beach never closes, so we were able to lay a blanket on the beach at night to watch the stars and listen to music. We didn't want to leave!

This property was as close to the beach as you could get. The location cannot be beat. Great communication with host. Fantastic views from every window. We absolutely loved sitting on the balcony and watching the water. You get to enjoy the sunrises and the sunsets from your deck. You won’t be disappointed!!
